Life is one big test!!!!Yes this is me in the picture!!!! I woke up this morning and I felt ok. I was getting ready to go for a run. I was just sitting and all of a sudden I felt dizzy and light headed. I was on the verge of passing out I made it to the phone. I sat down just in time as I passed out. I came to called 911 and got taken to the hospital by ambulance. I stayed for 5 hours and had abunch of test done. The good thing is the infection has not spread to my kidneys. I have a sever bladder infection, my blood sugar was very low and so was my white blood cell count.I am on antibiotics and should be ok. I see my doctor in a week.The doctor who treated me was a marathon runner so he understood what was going on more so than the average doctor would of.This picture was taken with my camera phone. Just in case you were wondering if I carried my camera everywhere. Thanks to the paramedics who took care of me and the doctors and nurse's at Washinton hospital.It was a scary experiance for me....Lesson learned take my health more seriously. I'm just happy I was at home when it happened and not on the trail alone.

Catra, girl, I am sorry you had this crap happenning...yep, so many dropped and fought cut offs, it was scary. Add on a pre-exsisting medical condition - and you are doomed.Get better, Dirt Diva, we need your craziness around:)
